This is what happens when you stay out of trouble. You earn your third Rookie of the Day Honor.

Hairston is averaging 17.2 PPG through five games, and was huge in the last two tournament games. Boy is impressing me so far!

His percentages have been pretty abysmal.

Its the SL so I wouldnt read to much into it.

SL or not, he's showing a lot of comfortability shooting the ball with range. Either you have it or you don't. And, Hairston does.

Never have I seen Hendo played this kind of basketball before.

Yea but everyone knew before the draft PJ had range and no issues letting it fire. 

 

Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that has heard of PJ Hairston before.

 

Dude is legit.

He definitely has the stroke.

 

But if his shot selectionand decision making does not improve, his minutes in a Clifford offense will be drastically reduced.

 

Summer League. 

 

Nothing more than a glorified pickup game. 

 

Bad shot selection is the norm in such an event. 

 

I wouldnt read a whole lot into anything that transpires these 2 weeks.

The whole shot selection thing is overblown. When he is integrated into a actual veteran NBA roster it would not be like this, he will be given a role and told to follow it. Right now he is playing with guys fresh out of college and for his team are pretty terrible, you got to take the initiation to be the main scorer.

Exactly. Give credit to where it's due.

Hairston could be something great for this franchise. I think he's a legit 6th man this year. He could be Harden2.0 in his third year.

He's showing that nothing is too big for him. I love it.

      Slowing my roll on Ward (for now)

      Him and Sanders are the only QBs I would consider in the first round. I won’t be upset if we take Sanders, unlike some people on the board. Both have potential to be really good NFL QBs if the teams can develop them.  But as we have seen teams are not willing or are unable to now properly develop rookie QBs.

      I remember the last time we had a Cam at QB in Charlotte

      Because Young is so historically bad that it just skews too far outside the normal deviations that perspective is easily lost. That or they just don't want to believe it.  The struggles last year would have been more about the infighting and poor roster building or idiot owner's hiring practices than with Stroud. He wouldn't have been as good but he wouldn't have been ruined here and the pressure was not Carr-esk if you take out the Young created portion from his playing style.  Dude is a young guy on a team coached by a Defensive guy building a good D but not building up the O in year 2 of his HC 1st time gig. Seems familiar... Go look at his output this year and not just some crappy Thursday night implosion game, I would take that in a second and never ever look back every time without a shred of doubt while eating 4 of those games a year with a giant smile on my face.
